Hello: Earth To Francois Legault: You're In A Trap Of

In the U.S. a strange but obvious thing is happening. 

Beaches in Florida are filled and maskless.

Baseball games in Texas are filled and maskless.

Case counts dropping.

Conversely, places with continued restrictions like New York, Michigan and Massachusetts, cases keep rising.

Can it be masks and other useless measures are not only not having any impact (laws of diminishing returns applies here) but probably adding to infection rates?

It's mind-boggling how Quebec, Ontario and Canada aren't looking at this and asking some hard questions. Instead, it's the continued blind hope of 'doing something is better than nothing.'

Sadly, we're tripling down and all the wrong ideas.

It's a sort of Bridgman Point we've arrived at whereby you reach a point where you can't cogently or coherently explain your position. Basically, at this point this is no longer about a virus. 

With all  Canadian leaders, we're seeing sophistry and little else. Meanwhile, it's working because the population is experiencing Stockholm Syndrome leaving them vulnerable to a sustained fear campaign.

There's no way to discuss and debate anymore. If the government is eschewing science and evidence, then we're adrift and at the mercy of mere men.

When the government admits there's no evidence or science to back measures and still extend them, there's a serious problem. Does it make sense to anyone with functional critical thinking skills that one year out and we're still seeing measures and mandates being added? Sorry, but 'highly transmissible' variants do NOT justify any of this. 

Rumor has it police now have 'Covid-19' ticket quotas. Slowly we morph into a type of place we may not recognize soon. 

What we need here Gandalf to come and knock Gremia Wormtongue and Sarumon from Theoden.

Ie Medical bureaucrats from the politicians. Then again, this analogy falls short because politicians aren't brave like Theoden.
